Psych for Life with Dr. Amanda Ferguson
Why failure is necessary for success - and how to deal with it
March 31, 2023
If we are to undertake anything in life – personally or professionally – we will always inevitably encounter failure. If we don’t undertake anything – we are also failing – failing to live, grow and learn. Failing to be happy and fulfilled. So the reality is, we actually can’t avoid failure. In fact - we only get to choose which way to fail – by attempting and doing things - or by not attempting and not doing things.  As such, it's important that we learn how to handle failures and learn from them. In this podcast you’ll learn: - Why failure is necessary if we are to succeed - How a learning or growth mindset helps us with failure - Why failure can help us to heal and grow from childhood issues
